To maximize occupant safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Infiniti QX60 have pretensioners to eliminate dangerous slack in the event of a collision and force limiters to limit the pressure the belts will exert on the passengers.

The QX60 Luxe’s optional pre-crash front seatbelts will tighten automatically in the event the vehicle detects an impending crash, improving protection against injury significantly.

For enhanced safety, the front, middle and rear seat shoulder belts of the Infiniti QX60 are height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can prevent injuries and the increased comfort also encourages passengers to buckle up.

The QX60 has shoulder harnesses for all passengers. Shoulder harnesses are 10% more effective than lap belts in preventing injuries from collisions. Recent studies indicate that lap belts alone may cause as many or more injuries than they prevent.

The QX60 has standard child safety locks to prevent children from opening the rear doors.

The QX60 has standard front seat side-impact airbags and head airbags for all three seat rows, which act as a forgiving barrier between the passengers and the door. Combined with high-strength steel door beams this system increases protection from broadside collisions.

Using vehicle speed sensors and seat sensors, smart airbags in the QX60 deploy with different levels of force or don’t deploy at all to help better protect passengers of all sizes in different collisions. Airbags without smart features will always deploy full force.

The QX60 has standard four wheel antilock disc brakes for quicker stops and controlled steering ability, especially under poor traction conditions.

The QX60 has a standard Intelligent Brake Assist, which uses forward mounted sensors to warn the driver of a possible collision ahead. If the driver doesn’t react and the system determines a collision is imminent, it automatically applies the brakes at full-force in order to reduce the force of the crash or avoid it altogether.

Over 200 people are killed each year when backed over by motor vehicles. The QX60 Luxe offers an optional Backup Collision Intervention that use rear sensors to monitor and automatically apply the brakes to prevent a rear collision.

To prevent wheelspin and loss of control under poor traction conditions, full range traction control is standard on the Infiniti QX60.

The QX60 has standard Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), which uses the antilock brake hardware along with powerful software and additional sensors to detect the beginning of a skid. VDC then intervenes by automatically applying the brake at one appropriate wheel, preventing a skid.. A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study showed that skid control systems reduced single-vehicle SUV crashes by 67%.

The Infiniti QX60 has Daytime Running Lights to help keep it more visible under all conditions. Canadian government studies show that driving with lights during the day reduces accidents by 11% by making vehicles more conspicuous.

The QX60 Luxe’s optional lane departure warning system alerts a temporarily inattentive driver when the vehicle begins to leave its lane and gently nudges the vehicle back towards its lane.

The QX60 offers optional Front and Rear Sonar System to help warn drivers about vehicles, pedestrians or other obstacles behind or in front of their vehicle. The QX60 also has a standard backup monitor to help drivers see any and all obstacles behind their vehicle, and an optional Around View® Monitor to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle.

The QX60’s blind spot warning system uses digital cameras monitored by computer to alert the driver to moving objects in the vehicle’s blind spots where the side view mirrors don’t reveal them.

To help make backing safer, the QX60’s cross-path warning system uses wide-angle radar in the rear bumper to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side, helping the driver avoid collisions.

For better protection of the passenger compartment, the QX60 uses safety cell construction with a three-dimensional high-strength frame that surrounds the passenger compartment. It provides extra impact protection and a sturdy mounting location for door hardware and side impact beams. A body-on-frame design has no frame members above the floor of the vehicle.

Compared to metal, the QX60’s plastic fuel tank can withstand harder, more intrusive impacts without leaking; this decreases the possibility of fire.

The QX60’s gas tank is mounted inside the frame rails in front of the rear axle to optimally protect the fuel tank in a collision. A gas tank mounted behind the rear axle is more susceptible to rear collisions.

The QX60 offers optional InTouch Services™, which uses a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver and a cellular system to get turn-by-turn driving directions, remotely unlock your doors if you lock your keys in, help track down your vehicle if it’s stolen or send emergency personnel to the scene if any airbags deploy. Without a GPS response system, if you’re involved in an accident and you’re incapacitated, help may not come as quickly.

For better traction, the QX60 has large tires (235/65R18).

The QX60’s standard tires provide better handling because they have a low 65 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiff sidewall. The QX60 Luxe’s optional tires have a lower 55 series profile.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the QX60 has standard 18-inch wheels. The QX60 Luxe offers optional 20-inch wheels.

The Infiniti QX60’s wheels have 5 lugs for longer wheel bearing life, less chance of rotor warping and greater strength.

The QX60 has a standard space-saver spare tire so you can replace a flat tire and drive to have the flat repaired or replaced. If a spare tire isn’t available, it requires you to depend on roadside assistance and your vehicle will have to be towed.

The Infiniti QX60’s independent front suspension is much lighter than a solid front axle, which allows the QX60’s wheels to react more quickly and accurately to the road’s surface, improving both ride and handling.

For superior ride and handling, the Infiniti QX60 has fully independent front and rear suspensions. An independent suspension allows the wheels to follow the road at the best angle for gripping the pavement, without compromising ride comfort.

The QX60 has standard front and rear stabilizer bars, which help keep the QX60 flat and controlled during cornering.

The front and rear suspension of the QX60 uses coil springs for better ride, handling and control, instead of using leaf springs. Coil springs compress more progressively and offer more suspension travel for a smoother ride with less bottoming out.

For much better steering response and tighter handling the QX60 has rack and pinion steering, like Formula racecars, instead of a recirculating-ball type.

The QX60 has standard power steering to make quick and controllable low speed maneuvers easy.

The QX60 has vehicle speed sensitive variable-assist power steering, for low-effort parking, better control at highway speeds and during hard cornering, and a better feel of the road.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the QX60’s wheelbase is 114.2 inches.

The QX60’s front to rear weight distribution is 56.4% to 43.6%. This gives the QX60 more stable handling and braking.

The QX60 AWD handles at .76 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The QX60 AWD goes through AutoWeek’s slalom at 39.1 MPH.

The QX60 AWD executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver in 29.3 seconds @ .56 average G’s.

For better maneuverability, the QX60’s turning circle is 38.7 feet.

The QX60 is only 200.6 inches long, making the QX60 easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The QX60 is only 77.2 inches wide, making it easier to handle and maneuver in traffic.

The QX60 is only 68.6 inches in height, making the QX60 much easier to wash and garage and drive (lower center of gravity).

Unibody construction lowers the QX60’s center of gravity significantly without reducing ground clearance. This contributes to better on the road handling and better off-road performance and stability. In addition, unibody construction makes the chassis stiffer, improving handling and reducing squeaks and rattles.

To almost totally eliminate engine vibration in the passenger area, the QX60 has liquid-filled engine mounts. The liquid helps further dampen engine harshness.

For excellent aerodynamics, the QX60 has standard flush composite headlights.

The QX60 uses gas struts to support the hood for easier service access. If a prop rod to supports a heavy hood, it takes two hands to open the hood and set it, the prop rod gets in the way during maintenance and service, and the prop rod could be knocked out, causing the heavy hood to fall on the person maintaining or servicing the car.

A maintenance reminder system is standard on the QX60 to save the owner time and money by calculating maintenance intervals for oil changes and tire rotation based on odometer mileage. This takes the guesswork out of keeping your vehicle in top condition and helps it last longer.

J.D. Power and Associates surveys of service recipients show that Infiniti service is better than average. J.D. Power ranks Infiniti first in service department satisfaction.

To shield the driver and front passenger’s vision over a larger portion of the windshield and side windows, the QX60 has standard extendable sun visors.

The QX60’s sun-visors swivel front-to-side to block glare from the side windows.

The QX60 has standard power remote mirrors. Without a remote driver side or passenger side mirror, the driver will have to roll down the windows and reach across the car to adjust the mirrors.

The QX60’s standard outside mirrors include heating elements to clear off the mirrors for better visibility.

When the QX60 Luxe is put in reverse, both rearview mirrors tilt from their original position. This gives the driver a better view of the curb during parallel parking maneuvers. Shifting out of reverse puts the mirrors into their original positions.

The QX60’s standard rear view mirror and optional side view mirrors have an automatic dimming feature. These mirrors can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver.

The QX60 has standard heated front and optional heated second row seats extremely comfortable in the winter.

Optional air-conditioned seats in the QX60 Luxe keep the driver and front passenger comfortable and take the sting out of hot seats in summer.

On extremely cold winter days, the QX60’s optional heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the vehicle heater warms up.

To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the QX60 offers an optional Intelligent Cruise Control, which alters the speed of the vehicle without driver intervention. This allows the driver to use cruise control more safely without constantly having to disengage it when approaching slower traffic.

To help keep the driver’s hands on the wheel, the QX60 has standard steering wheel controls for the radio.

To direct the driver from any location to a given street address with audible turn-by-turn directions, a GPS navigation system is available on the QX60. The QX60’s navigation system also has a real-time traffic update feature that offers alternative routes to automatically bypass traffic problems. (Service not available in all areas.)

With standard voice command, the QX60 offers the driver hands free control of the radio and the navigation computer by simply speaking.
